Well ain't that great. You can go out in the middle of no where to get away from it all and have free internet, but we have millions of Alabamians just a few blocks or miles from cities and they have no options for high speed internet.

At our schools the students pay a $50 fee that goes to classroom supplies. This is in addition to being asked to bring a couple packs of copier paper, hand sanitiser, markers, cleaning supplies, etc. This also does not include any technology fees or science fees, etc. for specific classes.

Dr. Morton,
If you are really concerned about educating children, how have you and your office sacrificed and put the savings into the classrooms?
The upper management of the education system should take a pay cut and get rid of all the taxpayer provided vehicles to save the cost of the vehicles, gas, maintenance, insurance, etc. and put the saving in the classroom.

Dr. Morton and all the upper administration, anyone making over $100,000/year should take a 10% pay cut as long as it doesn't put them under $100,000/year. They also should sell all their state cars to eliminate the vehicle cost, gas, maintenance, insurance, etc. Most of these cars/vehicles are top of the line, maxed out with options.

The same should hold true to the Upper adminitration of our Education system from Dr. Morton to the local boards. Everyone making over 100,000 should take a 10% pay cut (but not to put them under 100,000). Also get rid of all the company cars with the exception of maybe 1 or 2 basic 4-wheel drive pickups for the transportation departments to be able to check road conditions during ice/snow storm.

If you are truely for education and keeping funds in the classroom where education starts, start the cuts at the top.
